Salme Rosalie Riig

Salme Rosalie Riig (also Riig-Schönberg[1] and Riig-Reiman;[2] August 12, 1903 – September 5, 1973) was an Estonian sculptor and printmaker.

[6] In 1934, she graduated from the University of Tartu as an art historian,[4][7] and in 1943 from the sculpture department of the Pallas Art School, where she studied printmaking under Ado Vabbe and sculpture under Anton Starkopf.

[4][8] Small active figures and innovative wall panels characterized her work in the second half of the 1930s.

She continued to work as an artist in Argentina as well, where she received the 1951 Salón National Prize for foreigners[2][4][8] and the 1957 Buenos Aires Salón Municipal Rogelio Yrurtia Prize.

Riig was married twice: to Eduard Heinrich Schönberg-Paenast[9] (1885–1944)[10] and to Mihkel Reiman (1904–1968).
